Campbell Recalls Over 3,600 Cans of Chicken Soup

Campbell Soup has issued a recall for approximately 4,185 pounds of chicken soup due to misbranding of the products. The affected soup contains milk, which is not declared on the labels even though it is a known allergen.

The recall comes after multiple consumers complained that their products labeled "Campbell's Homestyle Healthy Request Chicken with Whole Grain Pasta" contained "Campbell's Homestyle Healthy Request Italian-Style Wedding Spinach & Meatballs in Chicken Broth." Milk is included in the latter meaning that a known allergen isn't printed on the label. There have been no confirmed incidents because of the mistake, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety Inspection Service is still urging customers not to consume them and to contact their healthcare provider if they are worried about injury or illness. It has been labeled as a Class I recall, meaning "there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death."

They also advise that affected products be thrown away or returned to their place of purchase. The mislabeled batch includes 18.6 oz. cans of "Campbell's Homestyle Healthy Request Chicken with Whole Grain Pasta" that contain a best by date of February 13, 2019 and establishment number "EST. 4R" on the bottom of the can.
